Abstract
Decision making about organ donation in andalusian population. A telephone survey was conducted by interviewing 1,111 citizens of Andalusian Community over eighteen, in order to know the sets of variables associated to decisions making concerning donation of people's own organs and their deceased relatives. Logistic regression analysis reveals two multivariate models in which the common variables to both decisions are religious beliefs, concerns about body integrity after death, attitude towards autopsy, blood donation experience, and knowledge regarding relatives opinion towards organ donation. The decision concerning people's own organ donation seems to be influenced by the perception of their own health conditions, perception of their level of information about the topic, and personal beliefs about resurrection. On the other hand, variables like sex, place of residence, having heard about money requesting for transplant, and concerns on premature harvest organs, contribute to predict decision over relatives' organ donation.
